So I need to go to the Mazda dealer for warranty repair because my backup camera is malfunctioning. While I am there I was planning to have the oil change and tire rotated. Annoyingly, the service guy said Mazda recommend that I have the throttle body clean. The car has only 10K on it...
I asked him "So is this in the service manual". He said it was not, but just something Mazda recommended. Yes, Mazda enjoys making money, but a pitch for throttle body cleaning on a 10K car? Now I am wondering if the vendor will try to Nickle and dime me. Should I look for a different dealer or will I encountered this at every dealer. Keep in mind that my experience with dealer comes only with my wife Subaru dealer because she insists that the car be service there. Fortunately, that group seems legit and have not recommended things like throttle body cleaning.
